When running the springs bent for a more linear action (98, 110 etc) are people polishing or lubing the contact locations between the spring eyelet and the spr02x? The metals sliding aren’t smooth and seem to “skip”.

Thanks

It's not. You need to have the tabs on top to run it lowered. Tried clocking the endbell but that didn't work.

I have an A800X with soft alloy chassis. For running outdoor/asphalt, what should I get?

- Carbon chassis, which version?
- long arms?
- anything else?

where can i find good starting setup for very low traction asphalt?

Do a google search for PetitRC Awesomatix - There is a wealth of information on 800x and setups for asphalt and carpet.
